Dow rises, GM dips on tariff fears as meme stocks rekindle retail fervor

As Bitcoin (BTC) consolidates near the $119,000 mark following a new all-time 
high (ATH) above $123,000 last week, several on-chain indicators are 
presenting a mixed picture regarding the cryptocurrency’s next major move. 
Bitcoin On-Chain Data Shows Mixed Outlook According to a CryptoQuant Quicktake 
post by contributor Chairman Lee, BTC exchange reserves have risen noticeably 
since late June. This sharp uptick suggests increased profit-taking activity, 
which could weigh on BTC in the short-term. Large holders and miners have also 
been ramping up their deposits since July 18. However, overall inflows to 
centralized exchanges remain relatively low compared to the levels observed 
during major market tops earlier this year. Related Reading: Bitcoin Rally 
Ahead? DXY Breakdown Suggests Capital Shift To Risk-On Assets Meanwhile, the 
Unspent Transaction Output (UTXO) count continues to decline &#8211; a trend often 
interpreted as a sign of long-term accumulation. Investors appear to be 
consolidating their coins, reducing active transactions and indicating strong 
conviction in Bitcoin’s long-term potential. For context, a declining UTXO 
count typically reflects reduced short-term selling pressure as holders move 
BTC into fewer wallets rather than trading them. This behavior is commonly 
associated with an overall bullish market outlook. Chairman Lee also pointed 
out that institutional and exchange-traded fund (ETF) flows remain robust. 
Year-to-date (YTD), nearly $50 billion has flowed into Bitcoin investment 
products despite temporary pauses due to profit-taking. Data from SoSoValue 
shows that US-listed spot BTC ETFs have recorded four consecutive months of 
positive inflows, with more than $18 billion added since April 2025. 
Similarly, total net assets held by these ETFs now exceed $151.6 billion. Can 
BTC Still Eye $180,000 Target? From a technical standpoint, Chairman Lee 
highlighted the $116,400 area as the immediate support zone. The analyst 
remarked: A breakdown below this level could extend the correction toward 
$112K–$110K. On the upside, holding above $116K keeps the structure intact for 
another push toward $124K–$130K. The analyst emphasized that as long as 
Bitcoin defends the $110,000 level, the broader bullish trend will remain 
intact. Moreover, if ETF and institutional inflows gain further momentum, BTC 
could still reach the ambitious year-end target of $180,000. Related Reading:

Leg Up That said, some cautionary signs are beginning to emerge. On-chain data 
indicates that long-term holders are accelerating distribution, while short- 
term investors are entering the market in hopes of benefitting from further 
upside &#8211; behavior that has historically preceded local tops. On the contrary, 
the Bitcoin short-term holder Market Value to Realized Value (MVRV) suggests 
that there may still be room for further growth in BTC’s price. At press time, 
BTC trades at $119,241, up 0.9% in the past 24 hours. Featured image from

Crypto analyst Maddox has provided a bullish outlook for Shiba Inu, predicting 
an explosive rally. His prediction comes as SHIB surpasses Litecoin to climb 
into the 18th spot on the list of largest cryptocurrencies by market 
capitalization. Shiba Inu Eyes Explosive 126% Rally In a TradingView post, 
Maddox predicted that Shiba Inu could record a 126% rally to $0.0003579 from 
its current price level. The analyst noted that SHIB has printed confirmed 
weekly bullish divergence in the Relative Strength Index (RSI). The top meme 
coin is now attempting to overcome the weekly 200EMA resistance. Related

Rate Explodes 1,784% The analyst further revealed that a High Volume Node lies 
just above, and a close above this level will signal a bullish trend. Based on 
this bullish trend, Shiba Inu could move to the initial target of the weekly 
pivot at $0.00001774 before it then moves to the $0.0000579 High Volume Node. 
Meanwhile, Maddox noted that the Shiba Inu price has completed its retracement 
to the ‘alt-coin’ golden pocket 0.786 Fibonacci retracement. He added that a 
bearish divergence is currently growing on the weekly RSI but that this will 
be diverted with a thrust high. The analyst is confident in SHIB’s potential, 
suggesting that this is a MEME season. He noted that the Dogecoin price looks 
ready to go. As such, Shiba Inu is also expected to follow suit, given the 
correlation between these meme coins, which are the largest ones by market 
cap. DOGE is up over 38% in the last seven days. Shiba Inu has followed and is 
up over 16% during this period. Thanks to the current uptrend, SHIB has 
surpassed LTC to become the 18th largest crypto by market cap. The meme coin 
currently boasts a market cap of $8.89 billion. SHIB Ready To Run To The 
$0.000032 Levels Crypto analyst Javon Marks had earlier shared a similar 
prediction to Maddox’s. In an X post, he declared that in the nearer term and 
by confirmed data, the $0.000032s are levels to come for Shiba Inu in response 
to a bullish divergence. He added that this 135% move could only be the start 
of a larger bullish reversal for the foremost meme coin. Related Reading:

Divergence Crypto analyst Friedrich suggested that Shiba Inu could reach its 
all-time high (ATH) as part of this larger bullish reversal. In an X post, the 
analyst declared that SHIB is about to blast. He added that with Ethereum 
ripping, the meme coin will go for a retest of its ATH of $0.00008845 for 
sure. His accompanying chart showed that SHIB could at least reach 
$0.00008032. At the time of writing, the Shiba Inu price is trading at around 
$0.0000151, down over 3% in the last 24 hours, according to data from 
CoinMarketCap. Featured image from Getty Images chart from Tradingview.com
